Did You Know?
Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Jesus claims the title in Revelation. He is the beginning and the end, the origin and the goal of all things.
The name is a claim to deity. Only God can say He is the first and the last. Jesus is not a part of the story. He is the author, the subject, and the conclusion.
Because He is the Alpha and the Omega, nothing is outside His control. The beginning was His. The end will be His. Every chapter in between is held in His hands.
